Riley Kaden

I have to be honest, this movie goes on the list of movies that I will never watch again. I thought that this would be another regular gay romance movie to watch to pass the time but was I horribly mistaken. The character development, plot, and timeline was confusing and odd. Not to mention the weird pedophilia type content in the show is really off putting from the start (Elios is 17, a minor, and Oliver is 24). No offense to the actors, they are just doing their job, but the characters are just so badly written and super distasteful. Elios’s personality I disliked the most, and yes, most of his behaviors can be put up to him “just being a teenager” and “figuring himself out” but his immaturity goes beyond him just “being a teenager”. And Oliver’s creepy and lurking behavior makes me just feel so eery and on edge, especially with his fascination with feet??? Another thing I do want to mention is about certain scenes I saw throughout the movie. There will be times where it is just a scenic view with little music or just silence with such few context where it just leaves you sitting there thinking “what am I supposed to do here?” And other scenes where there is little context given to conversation, for example the character will say something like “Oh you know what I mean” which doesn’t help the viewer at all. The sex scenes and/or anything romantic between the two main characters was hard to watch because I found their relationship so off putting and not right. And the peach scene was honestly disgusting in my opinion.
